Sing For Mossaia

the innocence mission - Rooftop

I hope you are on your rooftop now,

in the sun, in the middle of five hundred flowers,

and the warm wind blows your scarf around,

flying like a flag.

I hope you are on your rooftop now.

I hope you are on your rooftop now,

in the sun, in the middle of five hundred flowers,

and the warm wind blows your scarf straight out,

flying like a flag.

I hope you are on your rooftop now.

sleep walking through the all-nite drug store baptized in fluorescent light i found religion in the greeting card aisle now i know hallmark was right and every pop song on the radio is suddenly speaking to me art may imitate life but life imitates t.v. 'cuz you've been gone exactly two weeks two weeks and three days and let's just say that things look different now different in so many ways

i used to be a superhero no one could touch me not even myself you are like a phone booth that i somehow stumbled into and now look at me i am just like everbody else

if i was dressed in my best defenses would you agree to meet me for coffee if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors would you still know which one was me if i was naked and screaming on your front lawn would you turn on the light and come down screaming, there's the asshole who did this to me stripped me of my power stripped me down

i used to be a superhero no one could hurt me not even myself you are like a phone booth that i somehow stubmled into and now look at me i am just like everybody else

yeah you've been gone exactly two weeks two weeks and three days and now i'm a different person different in so many ways tell me what did you like about me and don't say my strength and daring 'cuz now i think i'm at your mercy and it's my first time for this kind of thing

i used to be a superhero i would swoop down and save me from myself but you are like a phone booth that i somehow stumbled into and now look at me i am just like everybody else

 I saw her sitting in the rain,
 raindrops falling on her.
 She didnīt seem to care.
 She sat there and smiled at me.

 And I knew 
 (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
 she could make me happy 
 (happy, happy).
 Flowers in her hair,
 Flowers everywhere.

 I love the flower girl,
 Oh, I donīt know just why.
 She simply caught my eye.
 I love the flower girl,
 She seemed so sweet and kind.
 She crept into my mind.

 I knew I had to say hello
 (hello, hello)
 She smiled up at me
 She took my hand
 And we walked 
 through the park alone

 And I knew 
 (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
 she could make me happy
 (happy, happy).
 Flowers in her hair,
 Flowers everywhere.

 I love the flower girl,
 Oh, I donīt know just why.
 She simply caught my eye.
 I love the flower girl,
 She seemed so sweet and kind.
 She crept into my mind.

 Suddenly the sun broke through
 (see the sun).
 I turned around she was gone
 (where did she go).
 And all I had left
 Was one little flower from her hair.

 But I knew 
 (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
 she had made me happy
 (happy, happy).
 Flowers in her hair,
 Flowers everywhere.

Marina loves Emma.
